class Array
# <tt>Array.wrap</tt> is like <tt>Kernel#Array</tt> except:
#
# * If the argument responds to +to_ary+ the method is invoked. <tt>Kernel#Array</tt>
# moves on to try +to_a+ if the returned value is +nil+, but <tt>Arraw.wrap</tt> returns
# such a +nil+ right away.
# * If the returned value from +to_ary+ is neither +nil+ nor an +Array+ object, <tt>Kernel#Array</tt>
# raises an exception, while <tt>Array.wrap</tt> does not, it just returns the value.
# * It does not call +to_a+ on the argument, though special-cases +nil+ to return an empty array.
#
# The last point is particularly worth comparing for some enumerables:
#
# Array(:foo => :bar) # => [[:foo, :bar]]
# Array.wrap(:foo => :bar) # => [{:foo => :bar}]
#
# Array("foo\nbar") # => ["foo\n", "bar"], in Ruby 1.8
# Array.wrap("foo\nbar") # => ["foo\nbar"]
